Caroline Tsay, Vice President and

“Maximize Your Board’s Potential
completely beat my expectations. I met
a number of incredible faculty members
and executives, and gained deep
insight into dealing with issues that
many companies face. Inspiring case
studies, involving topics like decision-
making, evaluating options, value
creation, shareholder activism, behavior
under pressure, all have practical
application in the boardroom.”
Gerard Paulides, Royal Dutch Shell,
Global Head M&A and Structured Finance:
“This seminar does an excellent job to
understand the structure of boards and
the duties and liabilities of the directors
in boards. It inspires understanding of the
drivers of directors’ behavior in navigating
the boardroom. Variations in cross-
jurisdictional governance, cross-border
operations and the allocation of decision-
making powers in one and two-tier boards,
is enlightened through the Harvard business
cases and interactive sessions.”
Fer Amkreutz, Chief Financial and
Risk Officer at APG US Inc.:
“Insightful and complete. Very inspiring
environment with new thoughts and
dynamic interactions guided by an
inspiring case method approach in
analyzing the specific case studies
I received. Deep intellectual thoughts
and analytic thinking are presented in
a very pragmatic way and presented
with expertise and experience by
these professionals in business
and science.”

MAXIMIZE YOUR BOARD’S POTENTIAL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Seminar schedule
The four-day seminar begins with the current board environment and role of the board. The event moves on to focus on a three-fold approach to tackling current board issues in specific, concrete and constructive ways.
DAY 1 | THE CURRENT BOARD ENVIRONMENT AND THE ROLE OF THE BOARD IN STRATEGY AND RISK OVERSIGHTBoards require prospective, new and seasoned directors who are able to stay ahead of the curve on key governance issues and leading practices. The Current Board Environment module will not only address leading practices in developed nations but will also include a spotlight on the corporate governance challenges that corporate boards and the boards of trustees of institutional investor’s councils face in emerging markets investments. When emerging markets exhibit mid-cycle characteristics such as higher inflation, rising food prices, and vulnerable profit margins, it becomes a challenging task to deploy micro-driven over macro-driven strategies and to select companies with a degree of comfort in risk-return tradeoffs and corporate governance transparency.
Afternoon BOARD STYLE AND BOARD DYNAMICSIn an interactive session, we discuss ideas for an optimum board dynamics environment and obtain insight into board governance behavior, style and effectiveness, using a proprietary psychometric model.Participants will complete a self-assessment online tool to identify their own personal governance style and explore the factors which contribute to functional and dysfunctional board behavior.
DAY 2 | BOARD COMPOSITION, ROLES, AND RESPONSIBILITIESThis part of the program addresses ways to maximize the effectiveness of the board’s individual member contributions. Topics include designing the board’s structure, the board’s role in strategic planning and goal setting, choosing directors and understanding their legal responsibilities, designing optimal strategies for external reporting and disclosure, and using committees.
DAY 3 | EFFECTIVE MEETINGS AND INFORMED DECISIONSThis section of the executive seminar focuses on how to lead dynamic, constructive board meetings with time-efficient agendas. It deals with the benefits of structuring different types of meetings, and ways to identify exactly which information and metric boards one needs to understand to monitor company strategy.
DAY 4 | MONITORING, MEASUREMENT, AND COMPENSATIONThe area of evaluation and compensation can be highly charged in today’s economic climate. This section of the seminar deals with evaluating CEO performance and compensation, planning management succession, evaluating the board and its members, and determining director compensation and stock ownership.
